It is often used in the context of moral and ethical wrongdoing, highlighting actions that are contrary to God's law and righteousness. The term can refer to physical violence, but it also encompasses broader forms of injustice and oppression.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, justice and righteousness were foundational to the community's covenant relationship with God. "Hemes" represents a violation of this divine order, often associated with the wicked and those who oppose God's will. The prophets frequently condemned "hemes" as a societal ill that needed to be addressed for the community to align with God's standards.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>brushwood<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brushwood (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">הֶ֫מֶס</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> only plural <font class="hebrew2">הֲמָסִים</font> <font size="+1"><b>brushwood</b></font> (compare De Che Di RV;
